NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Consolidated Guidance About Materials Licenses: Applications for
Sealed Sealed Source and Device Evaluation and Registration,
Availability of Draft NUREG
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Notice of availability and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is announcing the
availability of and requesting comment on draft NUREG-1556, Vol. 3,
``Consolidated Guidance about Materials Licenses: Applications for
Sealed Sealed Source and Device Evaluation and Registration,'' dated
September 1997.
NRC is consolidating and updating numerous guidance documents into
a series of program specific guidance documents to be published in a
NUREG format. All NUREGs in the series will carry the number and title:
NUREG 1556, Volume X, ``Consolidated Guidance About Materials
Licenses.'' Each specific guidance document will have an identifying
volume number, and the title of the specific guidance will appear as
the sub-title of the NUREG. This draft NUREG is the third guidance
document to be published in
[[Page 60112]]
this series; therefore it is listed as Volume 3.
The guidance NUREG is intended for use by applicants, licensees,
registration certificate holders, NRC license reviewers, and other NRC
personnel. It combines and updates the guidance for applicants and
licensees previously found in draft Regulatory Guides 10.10, ``Guide
for the Preparation of Applications for Radiation Safety Evaluation and
Registration of Devices Containing Byproduct Material,'' and Regulatory
Guide 10.11, ``Guide for the Preparation of Applications for Radiation
Safety Evaluation and Registration of Sealed Sources Containing
Byproduct Material,'' and guidance for persons reviewing such
applications found in NUREG-1550, ``Standard Review Plan for
Applications for Sealed Source and Device Evaluations and
Registrations.'' In addition, this draft report also contains
information found in pertinent Policy and Guidance Directives,
Technical Assistance Requests, and Information Notices.
This draft NUREG report has been distributed for comment to
encourage public participation in its development. It represents the
current position of the NRC staff, which is subject to change after the
review of public comments. Comments received will be considered in
developing the final NUREG report that represents the official NRC
staff position. Once the final NUREG report is published, NRC staff
will use it in its review of applications for registrations.
DATES: The comment period ends December 17, 1997. Comments received
after that time will be considered if practicable.
